Chennai Super Kings team has "moved on" from the controversy created due to an uncharacteristic outburst from Mahendra Singh Dhoni and will have no bearing during Sunday's IPL encounter against KKR, batting coach Mike Hussey said Saturday.

During an IPL encounter against Rajasthan Royals, Dhoni lost his cool as he rushed into the field of play to confront umpire Ulhas Gandhe for backtracking on a no-ball signal. The former India captain was docked 50 percent of his match fees.

"It's (incident) like having a loss. And again, you move on to the next match as quickly as you possibly can. So to be honest, we haven't spoken about it. It's been dealt with and we've moved on," Hussey said on the eve of their return leg match in Kolkata.

"Yeah, it's all happened and it's been dealt with pretty much right after the game. And the game is finished and and that's the thing about the IPL. You get to move on to the next match very quickly. There's no point us dwelling on it. Worrying about and stressing about it, we've got to move on."
"So that that's probably his value is that he can play a variety of roles. And he plays it very well with a calm head. So, so he's a huge asset to any team that he plays for."
Asked whether he could be the answer to the No 4 riddle in the upcoming World Cup, Hussey said: "I'm sure the Indian selectors will think about lots of different combinations along the way. But at the end of the day, I don't think it really matters whether you bet 4, 5 or 6, I think he's going to be a great asset to the team."
"If he still is good enough to get it away, that's okay then try and execute it again the next ball. not to complicate things too much keep things very simple but but the execution is probably the key."
"In the last few matches, we have actually started using them at the death as well. And and I do see that continuing, maybe just one over towards the end. And it's something that I know he really looks forward to."
